CT PERIPHERAL VENOGRAM

Description

CT PERIPHERAL VENOGRAM is a specialized computed tomography scan that focuses on the veins in the extremities, typically the legs or arms. This imaging technique uses contrast material to create detailed pictures of the venous system, allowing for the visualization of blood flow and potential obstructions. It’s primarily used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, and other venous disorders. The scan can detect blood clots, vein malformations, and assess the patency of veins after treatments. CT PERIPHERAL VENOGRAM is often preferred over traditional venography due to its non-invasive nature and ability to provide 3D images, which are particularly useful in complex cases or when planning interventional procedures.
